Describe the issue The video includes visual information that is not available to people who cannot see. beginning:

What part of the World Wide Web Consortium's work are you nost proud of? WORLD WIDE WEB FOUNDATION

throughout:

Sir Tim Berners-Lee Web Inventor W3C

end:

WEB30

WORLD WIDE WEB FOUNDATION

URL https://www.w3.org/mission/

Recommended solution Ideally that info would be provided as a separate voice-over at the beginning and ending of the video. (for WCAG AA conformance)

In this situation, I think it's acceptable to put that as static text with the video, per sufficient technique G203: Using a static text alternative to describe a talking head video

Perhaps:

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Web Inventor, W3C, answers the question "What part of the World Wide Web Consortium's work are you most proud of?" in this video from the World Wide Web Foundation. #WEB30

Additional info Description of Visual Information, in Making Audio and Video Media Accessible
